Re: Defrag or not?

I use JKDefrag too. it works on the MS API, so doesn't do anything nasty!

pretty sure MS suggest 1.5x the RAM you have. personally, I set mine to 1Gb pagefile, as I'd rather it use as much RAM first. You'll be surprised how much pageing the OS will do even with copious amounts of free RAM when it doesn't need to.
